In depth

Verdict

Smith is proven over the trip having landed a hat-trick of course and distance wins before well beaten at Kempton. But LOVE POEMS has more scope having separated a couple of subsequent winners when third at Chelmsford on her first attempt at 2m and she warrants another chance on that form. Aljaryaal has been running well over shorter distances and Northern has gone close over 1m4f the last twice now while Too Shy Shy also found one too good over the same trip here last time.
